Whenever l am invited to any large
doings where fair women and brave men
in their other clothes are apt to congre-
gate, / always inquire if there is to be
any etiquette there The presence of
etiquette at an otherwise happy gather
ing has frequently declared me from at
tending, and compelled me to spend the
evening with my family, where l could
lay aside all restraint and my coat.
So, the life of a President, fraught as
it is with the most virulent and malig
nant form of etiquette, would possess no
charms for me, and l am not surprised
that the boys of America refuse to rise as
one man and be President, fearing very
naturally that some time at a State din
ner they might get the great men mixed
up and the error telegraphed and cabled
right and left, or at some other official
festival and hurrah to q plenipotentiary
the wrong place might be assigned TO the
delegate-at-iarge from Farther India, and
the wife of the clergyman from Sweden
find herself drinking from the mustache
cup that properly belonged to the minis
ter from Nova Scotia.

Why e Calf is For Sale.

A few days ago Mr. Jones was away on
business and in his absence his better half,
Mrs. j., bethought herself of something
that would agreeably surprise Mr.. Jones
and make him smile real broad when he
came back. What did she dot She bought
a calf. Did you ever see or know the
woman who, when she allowed her fancies
to roam over things of comfort, didn't
dream of a COW and plenty of milk and
butter and creaml She thought of the
satisfaction that Jones would have when
once again it would come around time to
pay the miikman. She was as pleased as
pleased can be when she saw the calf
in his stall and tied up.
That night Jones was not apprised of
the new member of the establishment.
The next morning he was. Going into
the barn he saw a calf's tail whisking in
the frosty air. He saw also the remnants
of a $40 harness, he saw colt, shorn of
that rarest element of beauty in a horse,
viz: flowing tail-gone the same way
as the harness and bushel of oats.
Jones was mad He says that at first he
was mystiied Then he saw the calf.
The way that he sailed into that calf,
with a club, he says, was caution to
evil-doers. He danced around her, for
ward and back, grand right and left,
balance to partners, all promenade. He
was getting proud of himself He was
splitting on his hands to give the animal
the final coup de grace when Mrs. Jones
came out, and, like Pocahontas, inter
ceded with the man and the club Se
calf's life was saved. Mr.. Jones nat

quake. This is great boom for this
region, as there are thousands of acres
of good farming land at the base of the
mountains. Another good effect of
the earthquake is the opening of two

in the Santa Catalina mountains, at a
point where the whole side of the
mountain had slid down. Several

water and mining claims.
